#ColorGrading Tips: Control Each Adjustment Like a Pro
1. Always do one adjustment per node. Basic rule, but essential.
2. Use separate nodes for contrast, saturation, color correction, grading, and power windows.
3. Push each adjustment a little too far, then dial back the opacity to refine.

1. I love when clients clearly articulate what they want from the color session.
2. Reference pictures work well, and movie references can help too.

Dear Fellow Colorists, I Understand Your Struggle!
I had the same questions when I started. There are plenty of tutorials on the technical side, but little on the big-picture items like exposure, contrast, and saturation.

Here Are Some Practical Color Grading Approaches I’ve learned. These aren’t technical rules, but they've worked for me over time.
In no particular order:
1. Always start by color correcting your blacks and whites first.
2. Balance the color next.

Why Photo Editing and Color Grading Are So Different?
1. Video uses Y (luma) and chroma channels, while photography is RGB. This difference stems from analog video’s broadcast requirements.

Have a designated empty audio track with sync lock turned off. You can drag your music track there whenever you need to make revisions without mucking up the whole track and then shorten/lengthen your music as needed. Drag back up to a sync locked track when finished.

Today's tip: 👀
Avoid cutting on a blink. Give it an extra frame (or take one away) to ensure the subject’s eyes are open during the cut. It’s a small adjustment, but it makes a big difference in how smooth the edit feels.

Dear fellow #editors,
Don't let "perfect" hold you back from "good enough." Work in iterations. Your rough cut should be rough. Refine it with each pass, but know when to stop. (1/3)
